Chemistry Question on Hybridisation

Order of size of sp,sp2sp, sp^2 and sp3sp^3 orbitals is

A

sp3<sp2<sp sp^{3}< sp^{ 2} < sp

B

sp<sp2<sp3 sp < sp^{2} < sp^{3}

C

sp2<sp<sp3 sp^{2} < sp < sp^{3}

D

sp2<sp3<sp sp^{2} < sp^{3} < sp

Answer

sp<sp2<sp3 sp < sp^{2} < sp^{3}

Explanation

Solution

The percentage of s-character in sp3,sp2sp^3, sp^2 and spsp is 25%,33%25\%, 33\% and 50%50\% respectively. Order of size of orbitals is sp<sp2<sp3sp < sp^2 < sp^3.
